I'm a Big, Big Girl...

...in a big, big world...  OK, so America is HUGE!  Everything seems oversized: the cars, the houses, the roads, the malls, the shops and the people.

This didn't escape Tiny's beady little eyes but let me start at the beginning:  The Turtles set off to a mall for shopping.  Merely to assist the United States of America with their current economic crisis, of course.  It's not like they wanted to spend their money (it is not a bottomless pit...) but one should assist in any small way possible.

While waiting at the cashier to pay for Tiny's brand new pink Crocs, Tiny spotted a staff member standing close by.  This lady's clothes was far too small for her body and she was definitely not a size 8... There is probably a better, more PC way to say it, but Myrtle will hide behind the excuse that English is not her first language and just say it the easy way:  she was fat. Tony and Myrtle were in conversation when Tiny, who was sitting on Tony's arm, said (very clearly and quite loudly):  "A big aunty!" (The "big" was said in a low tone and stretched out a little - A beeee-eeeeg aunty!)  Myrtle moved into Tiny's line of sight, hoping to distract her but it didn't work.  "A beeeeeeeg aunty!" rang out again.  The Turtles grabbed their purchases and tried to disappear undetected.  Unsuccessfully...

Tiny Turtle does not discriminate and she is notching up socially unacceptable comments like her mommy is picking up kilograms.  The Turtles were swimming in the hotel pool and Tony was splashed in the face.  Tiny, who hates water in her face, is usually praised when she gets water in her face without crying with: "Well done Tiny, such a big girl!"  After Tony wiped his face and laughed Tiny scrutinised his face, obviously waiting for him to burst into tears. When it didn't happen she happily said: "Well done, Pappa, such a big girl!"

The three big girls have an early night tonight for a 8am flight to the Bahamas tomorrow. Yawn!
